<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-tkinter.scrolledtext" title="tkinter.scrolledtext: Text widget with a vertical scroll bar. (Tk)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">tkinter.scrolledtext</span></code></a> module provides a class of the same name which
implements a basic text widget which has a vertical scroll bar configured to do
the “right thing.”  Using the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">ScrolledText</span></code> class is a lot easier than
setting up a text widget and scroll bar directly.  The constructor is the same
as that of the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">tkinter.Text</span></code> class.</p>
<p>The text widget and scrollbar are packed together in a <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Frame</span></code>, and the
methods of the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Grid</span></code> and <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Pack</span></code> geometry managers are acquired
from the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">Frame</span></code> object.  This allows the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">ScrolledText</span></code> widget to
be used directly to achieve most normal geometry management behavior.</p>
<p>Should more specific control be necessary, the following attributes are
available:</p>

<dd><p>The frame which surrounds the text and scroll bar widgets.</p>
